The price of holidays can fluctuate a great deal throughout the year, so you can save a lot if you are

advance. Before your departure, make sure you get as much information about your destination as you can.
Find out if you require any special visas or permits to travel there. Think about spending money as well.
Will you be able to access your own money easily enough or will you need to take cash with you? Think

cheaper. Make sure that you keep sufficient identification with you at all times. It may also help to email a
copy of your passport details to yourself, in case it is lost or stolen. Label your suitcases clearly so that they
can be easily identified as yours. It can be useful to store a copy of your itinerary in a prominent place in
your suitcase so that the airline will know where to find you if your luggage gets lost. Be sure to pack any

Learning a new language is always an excellent idea. It provides you incredible benefits that come
with the backing of science! One of the most useful languages to learn is English.
Learning a second language is one of the best ways to keep your brain active and challenged. Studies
have shown that the brain undergoes changes in electrical activity and even structure and size while
learning a foreign language that do not occur when learning any other type of task or skill. Learning
another language offers important cognitive benefits at any age, helping to keep the mind active and even
reducing the risk of mental disease and slowing mental decline later in life.
When learning English as a second language, you approach new ways to think and express yourself
through written and spoken words. Learning multiple languages can help you communicate more clearly in
any language as you learn more about how language itself works and how to use it to promote ideas and
reach out to others in a variety of social and work situations.
The world may not have a global language, but English is the default option for countless forms of
communication across the globe. That’s why one of the benefits of learning English is that it significantly
boosts your hiring potential. In addition, it can offer you educational opportunities. If you desire access to
some of the best schools like Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge or MIT, then knowing English
provides you an incredible edge. It’s expected that around 2 billion people around the world will learn English over the next decade. True (T) or False (F)
